our ride

Five years ago, the hubster and I were in Italy. Ahhh Italy. We were eating loads of cheese, cured meats, pasta, cheese, bread, pasta and how could I forget the wine?! Five years ago today we got married in the sweetest little town of Poppi.

Ohhh Italia how I love thee. I have been reminded of all of our fun Italian adventures this week by some of those blogger people out there.

But this post today put me over the edge for some reason. How BEAUTIFUL are these flowers???? They remind me of my wedding bouquet and put me in such a happy place. Man I loved those flowers.

...

This weekend I'm holding a mini photo shoot for some new crafty goodies with my sister Kaite. (Remember the one I did with my sister Stacey?). Look for those shots at the end of September.

Until then have a splendid weekend of lovely crisp air and be sure to sip on a caffe latte or two to celebrate the sun.

ciao!

unsettled weather

Friday, June 27, 2008



the weather here in Toronto has been weird to say the least but I was happy to get a few really nice days where I could just veg out back and read my new book --------->
Consolation is a very cool book that flashes back and forth from Toronto 1855 and Toronto 1997... it's neat to read about the streets and scenery and know where they are exactly... anyway good read.

today I'm off to play in a golf tournament with M's family -- they have these reunions every 2 years and since I've been with M for 10 years this year I thought this was my 8 reunion but he said that didn't make sense so now I'm thinking it is my 6th who knows -- they kind of all run into each other... it should be fun regardess of what number it is. We get to eat lots of yummy italian food and play bocce and stuff -- hopefully the weather holds up.

I can't believe I'm talking about the weather....

Since i haven't been sewing (my machine is still in the plastic bag [yes plastic egad!] from when I brought it to the shop) I thought i would show you some random photos from our trip. We took 1700 photos so I hope you have some time... :)

That's me above in St. Peter's Square -- I was checking out the insane line-up you had to stand in to get it...


a street scape on a walk (of many) in Rome


pretty courtyard -Rome


awesome pic at night of Ponte Vecchio - Florence


looking out from our apartment in our villa in Poppi


poppies -- everywhere!

ok that's all I've got for today -- oh - I wanted to tell you about the new feature I added a couple days ago -----------------> I started a Twitter account so you can see what I'm doing every second of the day! :)

ps- my cat is driving me crazy right now! he wants to go outside so bad but I won't let him because I'm leaving for the day... poor Flash!

have a great weekend!
